AESF Foundation offers a variety of educational training options.

Web-Based Training Course

The AESF Foundation will continue its 2011 web-based course schedule with Part 1 of an outstanding two-part Environmental Stewardship course. Part 1, Wastewater Treatment and Control, encompasses part of the optional curriculum for Master Surface Finisher (MSF) certification. As with all Foundation web-based courses, participants are sent the course manual prior to the sessions so that you may review the material, take notes, prepare questions and follow along with the presentation.

This four-day course consists of 21 lessons providing the student with a broad range of information related to metal finishing operations that are commonly conducted in the Airline/Aerospace industry. It provides a clear understanding of surface finishing techniques and processes, whereby quality is improved and rejects/finishing problems are reduced.

This two-day course is intended for training of personnel working in "hard chrome" plating shops. It has specific benefit for line workers and shop foremen, but can also be of great use to shop owners and managers of hard chromium plating facilities.

AESF Foundation Custom Courses

Since 2009, the AESF Foundation has designed multiple custom courses for job and captive shops, as well as top aerospace, medical and electronic companies. Custom courses are designed, with the help of a qualified AESF Foundation instructor, from existing training modules to meet your company’s training needs.
